- OSHA has proposed allowing unions to accompany OSHA compliance officers on OSHA inspections, even when the employer is a merit shop (non-union) employer.
- Recently the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission issued a decision vacating 4 of 5 general duty clause citations levied on the United States Post Office regarding heat illness protection.
- The 100 Deadliest Days of Driving are upon us! A new Ohio distracted driving law severely restricts the use of cell phones in automobiles.
